Field Trips at Gilbert House Children’s Museum

Come explore Gilbert House Children’s Museum for your next field trip! Our 16 hands-on exhibits and 20,000 square foot outdoor space are designed to engage children in simple and complex forms of play that result in foundational learning. Each exhibit explores one or more STEAM subjects. Our workshops are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. Groups must have 10 or more students to receive the discounted group rate.

Independent Exploration Field Trip:

Take your time exploring each of our exhibits as small chaperoned groups. We recommend splitting up, rather than trying to move through the exhibits as a full class.

Field Trip with Workshop (Or Workshop Only)

In addition to independent exploration time, this option includes a 45-minute workshop for your students. We offer one workshop per grade level, tailored to relevant academic standards. Six engineering workshops are offered for mixed age groups. Grade-specific workshops are not available for mixed age groups. Each student will leave with a take-away from the workshop, and educators will be provided with a lesson plan for a follow-up activity.

Age Level: 2-10 years

Days: Tuesday-Friday, September through June

Cost: $6 general admission per student, plus $5 per student for the workshop
